Comments

584 Ridge Road, Windsor, ME. Now know as the Anchor ME Farm. Sometime prior to the 2000s the circular driveway was put out of use, with the far left in (from this angle) being blocked off with rocks. Before this point the large barn at the right, as well as the rightmost ell of the house and the small outbuilding near the barn were all lost. A row of pine trees and other plants were allowed to grow at the roadside between the two ends of the driveway, and by the late 2000s had completely blocked view of the house from the road. Sometime in the 2010s these were significantly thinned, with the right portion being completely removed and only shorter shrubs left on the other side.
The house and its remaining ells looks similar, though shutters have been added to the main house windows, a chicken coop area is in the front yard, skylights have been added to the ell, and a metal roof now spans the property. A 2-car garage was built where the rightmost ell once stood.
